Yes. "Did" is the past tense of "does".

Would the sentences make sense if you left out the "did?"

In your examples, there is only a present tense of the verb "know", not a past tense. The present tense of the word "know" is correct. For example, you say "did know", not "did knew". If you didn't have "did" in there then it would just be "knew"
He knew everything <-- correct
He did know everything <-- correct
He did knew everything <-- incorrect
